I had to get rid of the adobe pop-up and then wait forevevr for the page to load, but at least I can visit with you again!<BR/><BR/>We bought Kipler potatoes at the market yesterday and while I was cleaning them for dinner, I found a couple with eyes on them! So I'm going to plant them and see what happens! They're so small... I wonder if the plants will be small too?<BR/><BR/>Happy Easter, Nancy!Tatersmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11991481246363893085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083284564509209798.post-14615758709573664232009-04-11T08:35:00.000-04:002009-04-11T08:35:00.000-04:00Hope the potatoes grow for you.

And they are hard on the local cattle too.Tipperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11714281090985487356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083284564509209798.post-33772319233158506022009-04-10T18:29:00.000-04:002009-04-10T18:29:00.000-04:00LolI have been trying to ignore the potatos waitin...Lol<BR/>I have been trying to ignore the potatos waiting to be planted all day ,what happens ? :)<BR/>I log on to see what is going on in blog land and those potatoes just won't leave me alone .<BR/>Happy Easter to you and may all your potato dreams come true.Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05009478494680057877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083284564509209798.post-58687066459206857792009-04-10T16:46:00.000-04:002009-04-10T16:46:00.000-04:00Our coyotes sound downright demented.

It has been too wet here to plant any yet, and we were supposed to plant them back in March.....oh well. We will still try.

Leave them out in the sun for a day with cut side up.<BR/><BR/>Then place cut side in the ground and burry them. Plant about 2" apart You want to keep them well covered. When you see plants and or flowers, give them a good drink.<BR/><BR/>Keep checking to make sure they are cover well through out the summer.<BR/><BR/>That's how my grandparents did and they had bushels of them every year !!<BR/><BR/>Hope that helps, good lick with them.<BR/><BR/>We love to make chips with them in the winter!<BR/><BR/>Blessings-<BR/>RachelleRachellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01261853559660943265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083284564509209798.post-58773980988894550992009-04-10T00:35:00.000-04:002009-04-10T00:35:00.000-04:00Oooh I hope they do well!
